COVID-19 Update November 19, 2020 As of November 18, 2020, at 8:30 PM, the total of laboratory-confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases reported among Connecticut residents is 99381, including 92625 laboratory-confirmed and 6756 probable cases. Eight hundred forty patients are currently hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. There have been 4805 COVID-19-associated deaths. In Connecticut during the early months of this pandemic, it became increasingly clear that it would be necessary to track probable COVID-19 cases and deaths, in addition to laboratory-confirmed (RT-PCR) cases and deaths. This was needed to better measure the burden and impact of this disease in our communities and is now part of the national surveillance case definition for COVID-19. Prior to June 1, probable and confirmed cases were reported together.

Day-to-day changes reflect newly reported cases, deaths, and tests that occurred over the last several days to week. All data in this report are preliminary; data for previous dates will be updated as new reports are received and data errors are corrected. Hospitalization data were collected by the Connecticut Hospital Association. Deaths reported to either OCME or DPH are included in the daily COVID-19 update. 1 All data are preliminary and subject to change. Updated 11/19/2020. COVID-19 Cases and Deaths Over Time The chart below shows the number of new probable and confirmed COVID-19 cases reported to CT DPH by week of specimen collection or onset of illness. Case data now includes probable cases based on positive antigen test results. During the past two weeks (November 1-November 14), there were 20,881 new COVID-19 cases, including cases among people residing in the community and congregate settings, such as nursing homes, managed residential communities, and correctional facilities. The graph below shows the number of COVID-19 associated deaths since August 1st by week of death and whether the person was residing in a congregate setting, such as a nursing home, managed residential community, or correctional facility. 2 All data are preliminary and subject to change. Updated 11/19/2020. Community Transmission of COVID-19 Among 20,881 new COVID-19 cases with specimen collection or onset date during November 01-14 , there were 20,366 cases among people living in community settings, as shown in the map below. This corresponds to an average of 40.72 new COVID-19 cases per day per 100,000 population. Cases among people residing in nursing homes, managed residential community facilities, and correctional facilities are excluded. Darker colors indicate towns with more cases. During this two-week period, there were more than 100 new COVID-19 cases in 49 towns. Map does not include 213 cases pending address validation Because towns with larger populations are likely to have more cases, it is also important to look at the number of new cases per 100,000 population. The next map below shows the average number of new cases per 100,000 population per day, with darker colors indicating higher rates. Cases among people residing in nursing homes, managed residential community facilities, and correctional facilities are excluded. 3 All data are preliminary and subject to change. Updated 11/19/2020. Among towns with at least 5 new cases during November 01-14 , one hundred and forty-five towns had an average rate of 15 or more cases per 100,000 population per day, shown in red in the map below.
